Holy driveshaft angles.

 

[toyotafreak]

UNIVERSAL AUTOMOTIVE 704-721-3319
for all your driveshaft needs

franky can build just about anything u need

 

[SSWaters]

I like it, same height or droping it some? Just wondering about how that rr driveshaft angle will end up with the length of the trans and case.

 

[toyotafreak]

well i'm going to stretch the wb about 6 inches.... 3 1/2" in the front, and 2 1/2" in the rear... prolly goin to have to do some body work if it needs it, but i'm def. stretching it some... and i'd like it to be just about that same lift with 42's, or 44's... dunno yet

Awesome looking Toy. Looks like the 60 found a good home

Pictures really dont do this truck justice. The paint job is awesome. Ive seen it in person at Galloways and it looks great. Cant wait to see the stance when its finished.

 

[TonkaToy]

Are you going to have it finished by Galloways show in Oct? I'll be there with my Toy finally.

last thursday i got outta class early n skipped practice... and started on my front spring hanger...
its 1/4" plate with .120 wall 4x2...

just got started on it, and no they aren't going to be half that long, just haven't cut them off yet, gonna take em to my brothers shop and use their sweet ass plasma:Rockon:, lookin for about a 3" drop, so i can run much softer springs and still end up with around 6" of lift...

more pics... also flame away because i am no master welder, i would have asked franky to throw down some of his welding skills, but he was making 10 driveshafts all at once like he usually is...lol
